Hey guys, hoping to get some insight on this project im working on -
After doing a headgasket job on this 92 Land Cruiser I have, im discovering 0 compression on cylinder 1 and 35 on cylinder 4. The truck ran fine besides overheating before. When resurfacing the head at a shop they mentioned is was pretty warped from overheating..
Well during the process of putting in new valve seals from my gasket kit, I wire wheeled the valves since they were nasty. Now it seems my valves are leaking terribly. Has anyone else had experience with this? Whats the trick with getting valves to properly seal?
Or by chance am I missing something when installing the rocker arm assembly? Seems like all of the valves have little to no clearance. I didnt check the valve clearance before
After I cleaned the first few I remembered a previous miata project that I had the heck of a time getting the valves to seal after cleaning them and attempting to do a lapping job but took forever to seal. Ended up buying all new valves..
